C&J

Limited time, so I just worked up to a 1RM C&J
I got a 135# clean (twice) but not the jerk. I got the 125# jerk.

Jerk 1RM + 20 min AMRAP

Split jerk, worked up to a heavy single: 125#
75 x 5, then singles: 85 - 95 - 105 - 115 - 125

Met con: AMRAP in 20 minutes
5 pull-ups
10 box jumps (20")
15 KB swings (16 kg)

10 rounds + 15 reps

I felt good on the pull-ups! I was focusing on driving my elbows back. Box jumps felt pretty good too - I focused on a tight stomach, and landing with my feet in the right place. I got unbroken sets several times! Swings did not feel super heavy, but my lower back was aching.

Jerk & Power cleans + burpee pull-ups

Worked up to a 125# jerk. Did not go to failure.

Met con: 9 - 8 - 7 - ... - 2 - 1 - 10
Power clean (95#)
Burpee pull-up

16:40

I didn't think I'd be able to complete 55 reps, so I started at 9 and worked down. But I felt pretty good at the end, so I did a set of 10 at the end! Fun WOD. This was my first time doing rx'd burpee pull-ups - turns out I really like them!
